Abstract :This study aims to examine the effects of the lesson study model on the attitudes, self-efficacy, and math teaching anxiety of math teacher candidates. A pre- and post-test control group quasi-experimental design was utilized with a quantitative research framework. The study group consisted of a total of 14 teacher candidates (seven in the experimental group and seven in the control group), who were senior-level undergraduate students taking the "Teaching Practice” course in the pedagogical formation group of the Faculty of Education at Düzce University during the fall semester of the educational year 2019-2020. Data collection was performed using the Attitude Toward the Teaching Profession Scale, Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale, and Math Teaching Anxiety Scale. Non-parametric tests, specifically the Mann Whitney U and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests, were employed for data analysis. The results achieved in this study indicate that the lesson study model used in the teaching practice course positively affected the attitudes towards the teaching profession and teacher self-efficacy perceptions of math teacher candidates, as well as reducing math teaching anxiety.Keywords : Attitude towards teaching profession, lesson study, self-efficacy, teaching anxiety
